New CD Projekt RED and Witcher 3 Visual Identification Unveiled

CD Projekt RED, the developer behind the critically acclaimed Witcher series of games, is excited to unveil a new image of both the studio and its leading title—The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and provides new details about the titular Wild Hunt.

Established in 2002, located in Warsaw (HQ) and Kraków, Poland, CD Projekt RED was born out of raw passion to video games. The studio’s founders—Michał Kiciński and Marcin Iwiński, both pioneers in video game distribution in Poland in the 90s, decided to employ their gaming industry experience in video game development. A lot of time has passed since 2002, and the studio’s logo remained mostly untouched. Until today.

The new REDbird logo is a combination of energy and passion for game-making the studio is known for. This is how Adam Badowski, CD Projekt RED’s Head of Studio, sees the change:

We are rebels and rebels are free. Just like birds. The Northern Cardinal, or REDbird, is what we see ourselves in the industry: intrepid, bold and confident; flying high and aiming even higher. The color, cardinal RED, is something that connects it with another bird, a mythological creature close to our cultural roots and heritage—the Rarog, a small firebird believed to bring luck to people. RED stands for energy, the inner fire that drives us; it represents something very close to everyone here in the studio—the creativity and passion we harness from within ourselves to make the best RPGs in the world.

Starting May 14th, the REDbird logo will become the new, official logo of CD Projekt RED—it will accompany all official assets and will form the core of the studio’s visual identification.

Along with the new studio logo, CD Projekt RED is thrilled to unveil the new logo of it’s most ambitious game—The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Putting the titular Wild Hunt in its center, the new logo casts the spotlight on the mask of one of its ominous leaders—general Eredin.

The Wild Hunt has always been thought to presage war, great plagues and death. Their origin unknown, these ghastly riders instilled fear in the hearts of men and are believed to be able to steal people’s spirits that would later join the cavalcade. They come at night, in the winter and their appearance is always preceded by the aurora borealis.

In The Witcher 3, the Wild Hunt are not mere bosses at the end of a corridor. They’re part of the lore, part of the system of folk beliefs, they’re both something that children say stories about to scare each other and an entity that can wipe out entire villages in one night. The Wild Hunt is essential to the whole Witcher universe and in The Witcher 3 it will finally take center stage.

The ones who command the Hunt remain a mystery even bigger than the Hunt itself. Their number and purpose are shrouded with mystery, their cold steel however is not—many have witnessed the Hunt’s atrocities, almost none survived to tell the tale.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. In The Witcher 3, you play as Geralt of Rivia, one of a dying caste of monster hunters, and embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far—the Wild Hunt.

More information about the game and the Wild Hunt is planned to be released soon. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is scheduled for release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in February, 2015.

Fight alone or together with your friends, clash with opponents from all over the world and earn experience and valuable resources. Develop strategies and tactics to best suit your playing style and deploy them on the battlefield to show everyone who’s boss!

About The Game

War between the kingdoms of the north and the Nilfgaardian Empire tears the land apart. This is a conflict of unparallelled brutality and devastation--a total war. Old alliances have been destroyed and friendships have perished, leaving only trails of bodies and the sound of daggers being sharpened in the shadows. The lost souls displaced by this chaos must forge new destinies. Some lend themselves to the war effort, others decide to seek glory elsewhere. The latter often come to the Nilfgaardian Arena, a dark and bloody place where gladiators fight to the death for gold and the ultimate prize--the emperor’s respect.

Become characters known from the Witcher series such as the kingslayer Letho, the dwarven brawler Zoltan Chivay, the mysterious Operator or the powerful sorceress Philippa Eilhart, and fight for glory, for justice, for honor... or just because that is what you love doing the most.

《巫师3》制作组宣布将推出神秘3A级RPG新作

　　《巫师3》开发商在自己的财政业绩报告中宣布将在2021年前推出《赛博朋克2077》和另一款3A级RPG新作。

　　在波兰游戏开发商CD PROJECT的2015年度财政业绩报告直播上，总裁Adam Kiciński向大众展示了到2021年为止，公司未来5年的主要经营战略计划。



　　CDPR计划在2016年，除了按原定计划推出《巫师3：狂猎》第二个大型剧情DLC《血与酒》（Blood and Wine）外，CD PROJECT RED工作室（以下简称“CDPR”）还将推出“一种前所未见的全新电子游戏形式”，Adam Kiciński表示近期还不会透露这个新计划相关消息，但未来一定会让玩家们明白这句话的意思，他还暗示目前公司仍在“实验”和做一些“从来没有人做过的事”的阶段。这个神秘新计划令人不禁联想到他们不久前发布的一系列招聘信息。



　　此外，本次报告还提到了CD PROJECT在未来5年内，也就是2021年前计划推出2款新游戏，一款是公布后突然没有后续消息的《赛博朋克2077》，另一款是神秘3A级RPG新作。关于《赛博朋克2077》，Adam Kiciński表示游戏将和《巫师3》一样计划在PS4、Xbox One和PC平台推出。CDPR负责人Adam Badowski表示由于《巫师3》为之后的新作设立了一个非常高的起点，《赛博朋克2077》想要超越它还需要做很大量的工作，未来的成品需要比原计划“更好、更庞大、更具革命性”，这也是为什么游戏一直没有更多开发进度消息的原因。CDPR希望《赛博朋克2077》成为一款优秀的游戏，一款比《巫师3》更“大”更好的游戏。



　　至于刚公布的神秘3A级RPG新作，Adam Kiciński坚定地拒绝透露任何相关消息，目前能知道的只有这款游戏的开发周期将和《赛博朋克2077》一样定在2017年到2021年。同时Adam Kiciński还透露CD PROJECT将加大投资力度，未来工作室面积至少扩大一倍、开发人员从400人增至800人以上，并将分成4组分别负责不同游戏的开发。



　　另一方面，由CD PROJECT运营的GOG.com计划将发行一款独立于《巫师》系列之外的3A级游戏，GOG Galaxy也将进一步拓展新的产品特色和联网技术，以及已承诺加入的Early Access功能。
